The Blind Spot: An Analysis of Destructive Power Structures and the Transition from Narcissism to the Duty of Documentation
Abstract
This 34-page analytical work by Peter Siegfried Krug investigates the psychological mechanics of narcissism and systemic destructiveness within institutional contexts. Leveraging his professional background as a FIDE Master of Chess Composition (with over 1,000 published studies), the author details the process of sublimation: the strategic shift from ego-driven performance to the objective duty of documentation regarding abuse in residential care homes. The text emphasizes the use of "indirect facts"—including archival records, files, and biographical evidence—as a primary tool for exposing institutional lack of empathy. It serves as a personal and scientific manifesto for transitioning from a "Master" persona to a servant of historical truth and victim advocacy. Includes: Terminology explanations, biographical case studies (e.g., Fischer, Gandhi, Jobs), and the psychological framework of the "Blind Spot" (Johari Window).
